"The Tallest of Smalls" is Max Lucado's latest children's book that is coming out after the release of his book, "Fearless." Written in a style quite similar to Dr. Seuss, this book is a delight to read and share with children young and old. The message that is portrayed through the rhyme of the story is something that everyone needs to be reminded of, that God has created each of us and each of us is special and important to him. Maria Monescillo is the illustrator for this book and has done an amazing job! the pictures go along perfectly with the words and draw the reader into the book!

If you are a Denise Hunter fan you will not be disappointed with her latest (3rd) book in the Nantucket Love series, "Seaside Letters." Sabrina is serving coffee to the man of her dreams every morning, Tucker, however unbeknown to her, she is the woman of his dreams as well. Sabrina and Tucker are communicating via e-mail, however neither are willing to admit this to each other. As they become closer and learn more about each other, Sabrina becomes more determined that Tucker cannot find out that she is "Sweetpea." Working to help Tucker discover the identity of "Sweetpea," it becomes more and more difficult to hide her identify, however her secrets and past actions are holding her back. Throw in secrets, hurts, lost love, cousins and matchmaking and the story keeps getting better and better! This book is hard to put down once it is started!
